Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Canonbury

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Canonbury? Is this really warranted?

In order to comply with Money Laundering Regulations any Canonbury conveyancing firm will require evidence of your identity in all conveyancing transactions. This is normally satisfied by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill evidencing your correct address.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancing solicitors are required to investigate not just the identity of conveyancing clients but also the source of the money that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your solicitor terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your conveyancers are duty bound to make a disclosure to the appropriate authorities should they consider that any amounts received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

How does conveyancing in Canonbury differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Canonbury approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Canonbury typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Canonbury or who has acted in the same development.

I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Canonbury. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

It best that you pay the service charge as usual as all ground rent and service charges will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
